We have teamed up with the National Youth Film Festival Awards to showcase the best of teenage UK talent in a short-film contest.

To give you some idea of what we are looking for, the above film is a sample entry from a youth group in the North East.

'Round my corner' entry - Zara

The ‘Round My Corner’ competition focuses on family, friends and local neighbourhoods and can be filmed on anything from a professional video camera to a smartphone. It can be a beautifully edited masterpiece or a simply produced good story, the choice is yours.

You need to be aged 14-19 and produce a film no longer than three minutes in length based on what ‘Round My Corner’ means to you. But you only have until Friday, October 11.

The sample video was filmed by the young people of North Tyneside Youth Group and Little Big Butterfly.

Film synopsis:

The local girl who has an impossible dream...

Zara explores a young girls’ struggle to be taken seriously by her mother in her career intentions against the expectations of both the role of women and that of a Bangladeshi woman.
